SIZE DIDN,TLJHEIT

A well-known author was travelling
on horseback in the west and happened
to stop for the night at the little cabin
Of one Of the sold settlers" Among
the half-dozen books that the cabin
contained the traveller was delighted
to find one of his own most popular
books.
In sly way, for which he was pro-
perly punished, he sought to elicit a
compliment for himself. Picking up
the book, he said "Ah 1 see you have
one of Blanks books here. Do you
like it?'
Like it?n repeated the mistress of
the house. tits a book my man
was wheedled into buyin'. I'd rather
have had 10 cents wuth of peanuts or
prize package of candy than fifty
sich books as that
The author kept his identity con-
cealed, but his chagrin manifested
itself in sudden determination to ride
OH to the next house before stopping
for the nightly Yomh's Companion.

to Mr.. Lincoln's presence, even at "a
late an hour, and let her make such sn
appeal as the nature of her woes would
prompt and trust to its effect on the
President.
So taking carriage, and in it the
wife and children, he was driven rapid.
ly to the residence of Mr.. Lincoln,
at the Soldiers Home, where he was
temporarily residing, and being per-
mltted to pass the guard, was soon
within the cottage
Here he arranged that the wife and
children should remain ct the door Just
inside the hall.
Mr.. Lincoln's sleeping room was on
the first floor, the entrance to which
communicated with the hall. Mr.. G..
raped on the Presidents door, in
response to which he was asked "What
was wanted?" He announced himself
and requested him to step to the door,
as he had matter of life or death to
present.
Mr.. Lincoln, dressed only in long
night wrapper and slippers, went to
the door as requested, and Mr.. G. made
known the object of his visit.
The President demonstrated with him
for pressing such matter on him at
such m nnseemingly hour and place,
and refused to interfere in the matter
at all. Mr.. G. pressed the case, and
appealed to the Presidents sympathy,
but to no purpose, as the President be-
came more and more determined in his
manner, and at last fatty refused to
take any action whatever.
At this moment the wife, whom Mr..
Lincoln had not before known was SC
close at hand, came forward with her
babe in her arms, and with her other
children at her side, and there in the
midnight hour, kneeling at the feet Of
that tall and wrappered form, they
together poured out their piteous APP
peal for the life of the husband and
father.
And not in vain, for this was more
than his great nature could withstand.
Brushing away tear and raising the
woman to her feet, he hlrriedly turned
aside, passed to table and wrote this
telegram:
"The commanding officer at Fort Nc.
Henry will suspend the execution oi
all the prisoners sentenced to be shot
"A. LINCOLN"
And so the lives of all four were
aayad

wANq12D rlr FoR GRINDING HIS OWN

Rather good Indian story comes
from the Piegan reserve. 1t is we'll
known fact that an Indian generally
expects pay for anything in the way of
work which he condescends to under
take, even if the work is for his own
benefit. a healthy looking Indian
came to the agency with an AK to
grind. Mr.. EIDE, who is in charge of
the agency, volunteered to hold the AK,
While the Indian was to- do the turning.
The job was finally finished, and as the
Indian took his AK he demanded so
cents for turning the handle. Mr.. Eide
thereupon presented a counter account
and informed the Indian that he
wanted a 81 for holding the ak. The
Indian took in the situation and went
back to reflect on the wickedness of the
white man.-Fort Macleod Gazette.

4 AsM4LL-BoRE RIFE.

1t will seem surprising that the
special committee appointed in Eng
land to decide upon new rifle for the
British army should have decided to
fix the diameter of the bore at thirty
one hundreths of an inch, or 81, as it
is technically known. That makes the
bore about the size of an ordinary pen
Gil. The experiments are said to have
shown that such rifle is remarkably
efficient in range and destructiveness.
With a large charge of compressed
powder, up to 500 yards the soldier
"need not raise the back sight, This
bore is intended for the magazine gun,
which is made after the Lee pattern.
For a singleshot rife it is said that
the bore will be about SO, though the
information upon that point is not so
definite. Considering that our old
standard bore was so, such as is now
used by the New York state troops,
and that As is now used in our regular
army, the reduction of the bore to 81
is most radical departure in the form
of guns, and should receive the closest
attention upon the part of our govern
ment. Ne,r York SIM

The PIous Cavalier.

Ioll and danger soon hardened the
recruit into veteran, but he had his
Joke all the same. The ordinary cav
airy man was not pe1fectionist; in
deed, he did not claim to be, as this
incident proves. Near Fairfax Station,
IN Virginia, stood little church, but
the preacher was gone, the doors
broken down, and the furniture taken
for uses well known to the military
habit. Finally it was resorted to by
the soldiers encamped in the vicinity
for quiet game of poker. About this
time citizen stole in and wrote in
large letters over the place for the pull
pit: ut is written that my house
shall be called a house of prayer, but
ye have made it den of thieves" Not
long after two cavalry men came in
and sat down for game, and one of
them, looking up, read the inscription,
and pointing it out to his companion,
quietly remarked: "By gum Bill,
how did the fellow that wrote that find
us out?" Some General declared that
the cavalry should be the eve of the
army. II this be the true military
function of that arm of the service, it
is clear that the army was very care
less OF its eyes, as the troopers were
kept on picket or engaged in raiding
or scouting nearly all the time. Itwas
probably cavalry man who, in view
of these duties, adapted the old verse
to his own times and made it read this
way:
"He who fights and runs away
May live to fight another day:
But he who runs before the tight.
Is wiser by a precious sight
At first the natives, especially the
women, were greatly terrified at sight
OF a scouting party; but they soon
ceased to fear them and learned to look
to the soldiers for much needed sup
ply of salt and coffee. Into section
of West Virginia new to the Yankee
invaders scouting party OF cavalry on
one occasion made its way, commanded
by Captain who was extremely fond
of butter-mill, and who was in the
habit of calling for some at nearly
every farmhouse. When near one little
town long distance from the Union
lines the party halted in front of q
rather fine house, whose inmates ran
to the door crying: "The Yankees have
come the Yankees have come!" One of
the household, a virgin of forty or over,
more alarmed than even the others,
stretched forth her hands and with the
most imploring manner and tone ex-
cluimed: Gentlemen. I am at your
mercy. Take all! Burn, destroy, do
as you will; but spare, oh, spare my
honor!" "Confound your honor!" said
the now wrathy and thirsty Captain;
have You got any buttermilk? ?' The
excitement of scouting was enhanced
by the attentions of the guerrillas, who
were greatly aided by knowledge of
the country and the friendship of the
people. This is what Southern girl
wrote about her lover, who had gone to
be guerrilla:

The Chicago News editorially says: 'Du-
1uth, Minneapolis and other ambitious towns
which have been boasting of late that they

will be annoyed by the information that
several large elevators have been built in this
city recently and that more are to follow.
Chicago's grain trade is large enough to take
care of itself, but it is not adopting any
orphans,so the lively little towns ON the edge
of the frost belt will have to get along with
out its help" This is rather rich in view of
the fact that Minneapolis mills move more
wheat than Chicago handles, and will this
year double Chicago in receipts.
